Six Expeditions from Qishan

Middle lot

Lighting a candle in the wind leaves only loose shadows.

Dimly it spreads like flowers in a mirror.

Again and again children try to gather it up.

How could they know it is only an illusory floating branch?

Original text

Original Chinese verse

怎知只是幻浮槎

累被儿竟求牧拾

恍惚铺成镜里花

当风点烛空疏影

Allusion

Zhuge Liang repeatedly led expeditions from Qishan against Wei but did not succeed. During the sixth campaign he wrote the Later Memorial and finally died at Wuzhang Plain. The tale points to timing and destiny, and to all efforts becoming empty in the end.

Translated verse

This lot shows lighting a candle in the wind. Empty reputation is unfavorable.

Explanation

Wealth and honor are in Heaven. Poverty is destiny. There is no use forcing plans; all was set before.

Reading the sign

Moonlight and candle shadows seem like jade or flowers in a mirror.

Children try to gather them, but there is nothing to collect. It is only illusion.

By question

General Matters

The plan is like a dream and cannot be taken. Good fortune comes from past good deeds; if fortune feels lacking, stop evil, keep discipline, and do good. Repent to reduce bad destiny before it appears.

Love and Marriage

A lover may seem present for a moment, but the matter often fades without result. Repeated pursuit can remain dreamlike.

Work, Job Search, and Business

Work remains ordinary and tiring, with little prospect. Business profit is dim because of destiny.

Exams, Competition, and Promotion

Even if the outlook briefly seems good, the result often falls empty at the scene.

Investment and Money

Investments may look promising but fail to earn in reality.

Business Trade

Business that seems about to arrive can suddenly retreat for no clear reason.

Property

Property may look promising yet fail to bring profit.

Health

Treatment may seem effective at first and later fail. Strong repentance can reduce suffering.

Change and Transfer

Change may seem helpful for a time but often proves useless.

Pregnancy and Children

Children depend on destiny; if the destiny exists, they come, and if not, it is set by Heaven.

Legal Matters

Legal fortune tends toward loss or confinement.

Finding People or Things

Lost items do not return, reflecting past causes around taking what belonged to others.

Travel and Going Abroad

The plan may look good but often ends without result.
